Why Košice is Ideal for Solar Energy

Košice''s 1,850 annual sunshine hours (20% higher than Bratislava) create perfect conditions for solar power generation. With electricity prices rising 38% since 2020, local households and businesses are turning to PV solutions for long-term savings.

Solar Advantages You Can''t Ignore

Making Solar Work in Košice''s Climate

While winters bring snow, modern panel designs handle it better than you might think. Angled installations (30-35°) allow snow to slide off naturally, while anti-reflective coatings maximize light absorption even on cloudy days.
